#LIFEEp. 12- #LIFE- The Global Good-Mexico- Guests: Frank & Deborah VerdinWe’re back! And this time around we’re heading to a country that is close to my heart, because growing up, I lived just north of the border. Meet Frank & Deborah Verdin. I just had the opportunity to come alongside them in Mexico as they didn’t just share about Jesus but were living out pure religion- taking care of those living in the landfill, and practically meeting the needs of the people. It may come as a surprise to know that currently, lockdown looks strikingly similar on both sides of the border, it may even b...2021-01-1629 min

#LIFEEpisode 10- A Necessary Conversation (Part 2) - USA- Guests: Alexandra Yarborough & Jenae SwitzerWe're breaking from our global COVID-19 interviews to continue a necessary conversation that we left off with- racism. ..News headlines & focal points of conversation constantly shift and change & as a result it’s so easy to move on from an important topic when it still exists. ..Alex also has a story, and when speaking of the black community she reminds us, “we all don’t have the same experiences… I don’t know what your life is like and I can’t understand what that would feel like or what your challenges are or what your pa...2020-08-1534 min

#LIFEEpisode 8- The Global Good- Spain- Guests: Kurt & Melanie KettnerSpain made international news early on as they transitioned into lockdown. While shelter at-home measures have been strict, it hasn’t stopped the Spanish from rallying together and cheering every night at 8pm for those on the front lines. 🎉Kurt & Melanie Kettner, pastors at the WAVE church in Puerto Banus and presenters on Revelation TV share their experience transitioning to “the new normal”.

Not only is Michelle a teacher, but she’s also a parent. She defines what she calls, “crisis teaching” and how both teachers and parents are working together in this time of crisis to educate a generation.

During disasters, whether natural or initiated by man, people come together; and more often than not, for the good. I want to highlight these stories; and just a precautionary note- they may lead to a much-needed ab workout (speaking for myself) or bring you to tears (maybe both). So, keep the Kleenex close by, or a hanky if they’re sold out.2020-04-1617 min

#LIFE# L I F E- introSummed up in the word L I F E is the amazing, the good, the bad and the ugly. There are things that we experience as a part of our reality that we’d rather cover up and gloss over, while other things we ensure everyone knows about.At the end of the day, these things are equally valuable, equally a part of our stories, equally us. If we can be real about the entirety of our stories, it's not only a catalyst to our own healing, but it also has the potential to change the #L...2020-04-0600 min
